30 min to 1 hour Tank queues for Void Ark

[Culfinrandir]

Welcome to the world of everyone else.

I'm sure it is annoying though if it's the first time you've experienced the joy of the Duty Finder deadzone.

Can you say with a straight face that you expect 6 DUTY FINDER tanks to coordinate and pick an ad each when 90% of the time, you can't even do it with 3 because they're all fighting for agro on the main boss?

LOL no, I can't people couldn't even figure out the bone dragon, and my God the insanity of KB if the MT fell....Your point is well made. Even so, it would be nice if they actually figured our how to design content with damage dealers, Healers and tanks all in mind. They did after all decide to go with the 'trinity'. So it behooves them to try harder to make content that actually uses tanks, instead of making them behave like a poor man's DPS.

6 tanks in a 24 man raid was completely unnecessary and ultimately just led to a lot of asshattery cause nobody wanted to OT.

1 tank per alliance is all you really need. Look at it this way - you are guaranteed to get whatever tank gear drops.

LOL, you have no idea how many times I ran CT and no one wanted to MT KB, it was a litmus test for players who really wanted to be a tank. Personally I found MT in that pretty straightforward (except the first time when I stood too close to a whirlwind and got buzz-sawed in half....

Seriously though, I understand the reasoning and the point, even though I wish SE could do a better job balancing their content for the Trinity they decided to stick with...and besides within a few weeks, it will be back to the norm of instant Q for Tanks & healers

Can't be that hard to come up with a mass battle with 6 Bosses simultaneously splitting the 6 tanks 6 ways.

But it was, you also had the try hard PLDs who want to tank everything so they feel like their full vit build was useful somehow, so theyd try to grab all the adds and therefor theyd all be killed on the same spot.
Fighting for aggro was a pain.

Also look at it this way, with only one tank per party needed you now have 5 dps who get close to insta queues now, as opposed to when tanks are in short supply those 5 dps would be waiting 30 mins for their queues, so tell me whats better 2 people (tanks) having insta queues or 5 people (the dps) having insta queues.
Us tanks always have it good doesnt hurt to let the dps have some fun too sometimes

Much easier to team up with 2 other people than 5 on who gets what. And it also lets more people who play dps to get into queue. Its a win win.

Notice I said nobody wanted to OT. That was the problem. Too many people wanted to MT because, let's face it, it's the easiest role in there. The only reason KB was an exception is because people are inherently lazy. Given the choice between MT'ing the boss or watching Netflix and clicking a button every so often for the same reward, 9 out of 10 people will go stand at the tower.

Bone Dragon always had 2-3 tanks fighting over hate on the boss and at least 1 that would provoke skeletons off other tanks.

A 6 tank setup 100% not needed for Duty Finder content.

Not really much of a win when tanks need to wait 30 minutes to an HOUR just to get in.... I really want to work on my WAR this patch but damn, these queues are killing me. And no that isn't an exaggeration, I have waited a full 60 minutes to get in. That's way too long.....

[Adire]

WoD went for a while with DPS having faster queues than tanks until people stopped running it often. This is normal.

[myahele]

When LotA was at it's peak queue times were longer than queue time now. And quite honestly, having 2 tanks per alliance was just so redundant since it wasn't necessary.

[Zumi]

If you invite some random dps in your fc it goes a lot faster.

my reaction as a DPS seeing tanks complain about VA queues.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

that aside, wait a few days and it'll balance out to CT levels after most people get their loot.
